Summary:

Buffy doesn't die and her body goes with her through the portal.

She ends up in, at first, very similar parallel world, which rapidly turns out to be a dystopian version where The Initiative isn't a secret Government branch anymore, but a military and political organization which publicly hunts down every magical being (like a supernatural Nazi SS).

They started hunting demons, vampires and such, but when a Slayer killed a human, they expanded to every supernatural being (witches, warlocks, Potentials, Watchers...). The Initiative have most of the population support and those who don't, are too afraid to speak up.

Those being hunted are organizing in secret factions, which have finally agreed to cooperate in order to survive. When Buffy falls from the portal a member of one of these factions takes her to their secret base.

If you want the banner send me a PM ;)


MUSTS:

  • At least 4 factions with the following leaders: Spike, Darla, Faith and Wesley. They have their differences, but they respect each other. I wanna see comradery and bickering between the four of them.
  • The leaders decide their objectives together but there is a behind the scenes Big Honcho calling the shots. Everyone speculates and tell impossible stories about this Boss, but no-one really knows who he/she is. (The leaders know but keep it secret for security reasons.)
  • Apart from the factions, there are also collaborators, spies, double agents, etc. (For example: Angel as a collaborator who denounces vampires, Giles as an initial collaborator who turns to the factions when The Initiative starts hunting down Slayers or Lindsey from Ats as a double agent.)
  • Dawn doesn't exist.
  • Buffy doesn't want to help the factions at first since they're killing humans.
  • Her views must change slowly until she offers to help them in a big operation they've been preparing for a long time.
  • During the operation, AU!Spike goes rogue after seeing info about a weapon.
  • The weapon turns out to be AU!Buffy, who has been experimented on and kept prisoner for a long time.
  • The Big Honcho turns to be someone unexpected like Tara or Cordy.

CAN

  • AUBuffy and AUSpike were lovers prior to her capture.
  • AUBuffy can be the Slayer who killed a human.
  • Weird non-canon pairings (ie: Darla/Wes, Darla/Faith, Oz/Anya, Oz/Kendra, Tara/Faith, Tara/Darla, Jenny C./Wes, Robin/Kendra, Kendra/Faith, Harmony/Warren, Harmony/Jonathan or any other that would make no sense in the original Universe).
  • Xander and Gunn are convinced members/followers of The Initiative.
  • Anne/Chanterelle as a high member of The Initiative.
  • Fred secretly collaborates with the factions by hiding supernaturals in safe houses.
  • Drusilla was killed by The Initiative after Angel reported her, Darla and Spike.
  • Willow was captured and used by The Initiative to hunt down Hostiles or turned into DarkWillow for the same purpose.
  • Buffy being able to go back to her universe when AUBuffy is freed but instead decides to stay until they get rid of The Initiative.

CAN NOT

  • Faith being the Slayer who killed a human.
